9. Let X be defined by the probability density function

-x-1

(a) Define Y = X2 and find Cov(X,Y).

(b) Without doing any calculations, find the regression function E(Y|X = x) (Hint. When the value of X is given, the value of Y is known).

(c) On the basis of the regression function found above, comment on the appropriateness of the linear correlation coefficient as a measure of dependence between X and Y.

-x-1
